2022 6th gen is coming

Yea the 6th gen 4 runner will be a hybrid probably with 4 cylinder turbo and get well over 33 mpg. The 2021 Tundra will get hybrid powertrain as well but will be a turbo 6 with hybrid powertrain. Toyota plays the long game hybrids are their direction for the future. Ford believes it can go full electric and hybrid but unlike Toyota or Tesla they have very little experience with either technology.
 
That would kill the T4R for me. The only question is, do I keep my 2013 or buy a 2021?

Buy a 2021 which will be the last of the best.

Everyone wants the same dependability but also wants a turbo and 8 speed tranny. Not sure you can have it both ways. Only way id want a turbo is with a diesel power plant. the 5th gen, like all other gens, is dependable so I hope it continues.

I'll keep my 4runner till the 7th gen comes out :D
 
One interesting part of this was the comment about the Landcruiser becoming a stripped out off roader... who the hell is going to afford that??

Garbage. I predict low mileage V8 4th gens will be selling at near original MSRP. The automotive industry the past 10 years has been a complete disgrace, now it will get much worse. Sick of the key fobs, push button starts and shifter dials, touchscreens and shitty GPS systems, the tiny motors, turbos, computers and engineered obsolescence, ALL OF IT.

Haha, I hear you, but not sure 95% of other people and their wallets will agree. Just the fact we are on an automobile related message board makes us a small group, and the fact its 4RUnner related is even more of a unique subculture.

In fact the last 10 years has seen massive innovation and safety advances. And one of the biggest complaints about these vehicles is the dismal MPG. I for one would welcome a decent truck with great mileage, and even consider an electric.

Haha, close. ;-) I put a deposit on my Cybertruck day 1. (Even posted in here about it).

In 2 years time with Ford, Rivian, tesla, and other companies making electrics we are going to see some seriously cool stuff. At first people will gripe until they see the light.

Digital photography, vinyl records Mp3s, smart phones. There will always be purists but better tech will always win the long game.

A hybrid 4Runner with some power would be awesome.

A base model Land Cruiser in the rest of the world starts around $43k USD. If they would sell the base model here, I think folks would buy them in a lot higher numbers than the $85k version.

They are very basic though. Vinyl floor.

To each their own, that's exactly why I bought this model because of the fang fog lights haha.

Cant wait to see what the 6th gen will look like for sure, whether they go with a more aggressive style similar to current or bull nose design like the current Tacoma.

Love the fang fog lights! Looking out my office window a 2020 Rav4 (which really just followed the current RX) just parked next to my 5th gen, and it made me think Toyota is going to follow that style for the 6th gen. Seems to be the trend. I think the lines and shapes will be sharper to give it a more sporty/aggressive look and lose a bit of its roundness (funny that the TRD off road Rav looks the least aggressive IMO--looks more like a Subaru). Personally, I think a 4Runner patterned after the new Rav would look awesome.

They should make it aggressive with some aerodynamics. And they need to fix the rollover issue. If they need to kick and beat up their engineers they should do so.
